Subject: Kernel vs user memory
Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2009 18:56:52 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <21512362.post@talk.nabble.com> (raw)


The kernel maintains a free list of pages that are free in physical memory. I
was wondering, are these pages in the kernel space ? They are not mapped to
any of the user address space for sure, so will they be in the kernel memory
?

Thanks
